Someone commented that I should get a shot of this poster seen up around Curtin. They got pulled down pretty quickly, but I managed to find one lodged in a cranny near the Tavern. You know, the artwork does have a kind of dumb charm. I have to say that I quite like it, despite its obvious ah, problems. I’m tempted to go not worst. I would class the events more as worsts, the burnout and wet tshirts comps, and the fact that the bar doesn’t open until 8 hours after the gates open.

The Daily Mail breaks the shocking news that women sometimes sleep with men for reasons other than romantic… so they should be happy to have their foot put in a trap & get shot in the arse by a guy who votes for Wilson Tuckey after doing a dash for cash in a wet t shirt?

You can’t argue with that logic shazza, I hope you read the scientific Daily Mail article and learned from it.

Yeah, me I’m planning to get the kids in bed early tonight and dress up in my bunny ears and Daisy Duke shorts for my husband. After I finish cooking dinner, cleaning the toilet, folding the laundry and making tomorrow’s school lunches.

I understand your point ladies however it is less the picture and more about the good night you have while attending these events. Have you ever gone to a BnS??? If not i find it had to beleive that you are judging this event based on this poster. Yes it is a little rude but hat is not what the night is about, it is about having a few with your mates and letting loose, de stressing and having FUN!

Oh for fucks sake. I am getting fed up with you B&S people now. The whole fucking point of this thread is to discuss the fucking poster. I know, Oblivious, that you are new to the thread, but there are now over three fucking hundred comments, many of which reiterate this point.

OK…I am not a bogan. I’m an extremely intelligent young woman studying farm management at Muresk. I have big plans for my future, one being a top quality wiltshire stud breeder. I don’t dress like a slut, my hair isn’t blonde, and I don’t have big boobs. I have only ever been with one man. It just so happens that I’m about the only artist at Muresk and the prize was free entry to the B & S Ball.
And to criticize you need to know what you’re talking about. A B & S is all about letting go and forgetting all the bullshit in life. There are yobbos there but I’m not one of them…and I think you’ll find that no woman go in the dash for cash.
It’s easy to sit back and criticize…because you don’t understand. The event raised $200, 000 for charity. That’s having a go at a lot of people.

she was obviously thinking how much fame she could get out of releasing such a great picture for people to comment on! obviously it worked and got some numb-nuts to comment on the so-called “politically incorrect” theme of the BnS. im pretty sure rhiannons thought were clear, and that the target audience is of the younger population!

So violence against women is OK? What other conclusion can we draw from a picture that shows a large male figure wearing no pants and discharging a shotgun placed in his crotch into the backside of a female figure caught in a trap. What message are you sending? Come to the BnS Ball and be forcibly confined and assaulted?

Once again, it’s the arvo, Iv’e poured myself a vino, and started to read through this thread (it’s just priceless TLA). And I have to say there are many comments that provoke a laugh, but Bento, this is the one I laugh the loudest at every time. Brilliant!

It’s just a poster for an event someone like most of you who posted derogatory comments is never going to attend because you’re some prissy do-gooder still caught up in the feminist movement from the 70s. (You’ll probably go on to become born-again-christians and all will be right with the world.)

Geez, if you guys actually came from the country you’d get it. It’s just a poster which pokes a little fun. The artist herself intended it to be that way. And as someone that personally knows her, I can tell you that she’s not the kind of woman that’d take crap from any guy.

Like she says below, she’s a talented, extremely smart young girl who’s only ever had one boyfriend (and is still with him) and who likes to have a good time. It’s not uncommon for derogatory things to be said about woman in the country – in fact its a very common (and Australian!) thing. Look no further than most Aussie comic books or souvenir shops.

So anyway. The 2009 BnS is over for the year. Frankly, I dunno why you’re all having a cry about the poster for it now.

And by the way David Cohen – were you being funny? (“Men are BEASTS!) Cause if you weren’t then I’m really confused. ^_^

You may need to note that no-one here cares about the event, or whether the money went to charity or was fed to cattle or whether country people are idiots or not. It’s just an amusing debate about cultural issues. You need to hop off your bucking bulls for a moment and read a little more carefully. Unless these are satirical comments, and in that case. Kudos.

Perhaps if you could give me a humorous take on this, particularly the fact she is being shot in the ass at point blank while in a rabbit trap? I like to think I’m a good humoured lass but I’m not seeing the charm here.

PS. To any ‘our Nikki’ freaks planning on telling me I’m jealous. My boobs arent what they used to be but I reckon I could still go tit to tit with a 20 something. So spare me.

Actually you have not pointed out any hypocracy. I suggest you read the entire thread, particularly the part where I state that this image does not show men in a flattering light either (as earlier stated by Snuff)

just so you know, this picture was drawn by a really sweet girl… she obviously does not condone violence against women. i went to the BnS and there was nothing there that was not appropriate… the wet tshirt comp was only entered by girls who were comfortable… the dash for cash was only entered by men no women. and there is no reason for you to feel uncomfortable the whole event was very well controlled and organised by the muresk BnS comitee with a group of males and females.

And the ram is wearing a dress. If he was in King Gee’s or overalls, it would be a lot worse.

Actually I’m quite shocked that ads like this, and the poker night, are at an Institute of Higher Learning in Perth. That is what’s worst about both of these ads. One would expect them in a Kalgoorlie pub, not a University. Which dept contains such students ? Computer Science probably.

I don’t know about anyone else’s definition of worst, but mine’s something like … so bad, it’s good. I’m particularly partial to the downright dreadful, but this is just banally bad, even without the apostrophe. I’m also keen on truth in advertising, so I probably would’ve gone with this.

A) Am highly offended you didn’t notice, but I suppose it was dark.
B) Mr Shazza does have a nice set of pearly whites. All natural, just like my boobs. So I suppose that means I’ll never compete with the young-uns on the Western suburbs dance floors.

It’s so bad, if there wasn’t the rest of the ad, it could almost be an anti inseminators ball image. I think it’s bad in a similar way to Bento calling god riddance to Howard Sattlers old mother dying, wrong and stupid and yet…

For me it’s all about the message. Bento was highlighting the arrogant, disregard for the feelings of the family of those dead children by Sattler and his supporters. That message was clear, at least to me, and justified.

Co incidentlally I suspect many Sattler supporters will be in attendance at the Inseminators Ball.

Fuck me. I wasn’t even here, and I’m being called wrong and stupid. I may be wrong, and I may be stupid, but at least I have more masculine posture than D’Arcy the Ram there, who appears to be ‘en pointe’. What the fuck is that all about?

will any women be going to the event, or do they actually have to be trapped and shot to get them to attend?

if they do go willingly, exactly what kind of woman might look at the poster and think ‘they look like my kind of guys, perhaps I will be trapped and skinned by a future soul mate’

after all Rolly’s crap about leaving the debauchery and moral ambivalence of Gotham to return to the country where old fashioned values and common decency still prevail, it’s good to see what really goes on in the flyover shires.

actually, there is a young gentleman walking away from the upturned burning car wearing an “I love beer” T-shirt, who appears to have a mullet.

do you think that might be Darcy?

no doubt this is the WA equivalent of that Pride and Prejudice moment, but instead of Darcy emerging in sodden breeches from a swim in the moat, Darcy crawls out from beneath a burning ute after some ripper circle work, and young Elizabeth Bennett creams her knickers.

Thing is it doesn’t just condone sexual violence against women, it celebrates it. The fact that it’s fucking ugly doesn’t make that ok on some conceptual meta-level. Some things just aren’t that funny, sorry.

In my defence (why do I think I have to defend myself?) yes I am bitter, but significantly less dried up than I might sound.

What always throws me at around about this point every.single.time I buy in to one of these arguments is the question why it is thought to be particularly feminist to object to something that is basically just degrading and crap. Isn’t the objection coming from a decent, humane perspective – not a particularly female, feminine or feminist one? Once your argument is labelled as feminist you have to argue out of there and it’s much harder.

For the record I have nfi either 1. how anyone with the benefit of an education and access to birth control can not identify as a feminist, or 2. what a quasi feminist is supposed to be.

That is not necessarily correct Shazza.
The term, quasi, will always have a degree of ambiguity regardless of the context or usage.
Which is why I used it. Obviously I do not know whether you are a dedicated feminist or a feminist whenever it suits the situation and it would be wrong on my behalf to assume anything else.
However I do not feel that I deserve your contemptuous remark.
Having successfully raised two fiercely independent daughters who have come from a long line of strong minded women means that I probably have at least some idea of what I am talking about.

Thankyou curious. I would have thought my gravatar was evidence enough of my femmo credentials.

And yes Richarbl was patronising, but I didn’t take it to heart. It’s just good fun baiting people who think you’re “angst ridden and burdened”, when you are actually a Polish Disco Polo singer with a rack to die for.

Well actually your gravatar doesn’t really show anything more than a vaguely human like figure possibly on a stage. there doesn’t appear to be anything feminist about it, hardly enough information to form an opinion about your personality.
And even if it did imagine the furore if I came to the conclusion that you were a feminist simply on that basis.
My gravatar is a tour poster from a Led Zeppelin tour in 1977, that doesn’t mean that I am Robert Plant.

When you’re in a hole, Richarbl, stop digging. It was too much information to begin with, but now you’ve just made it worse.

I had no idea that your original comment was directed toward any individual, but apparently it referred to shazza. Your excuse that although it would have been wrong to have assumed that she was a dedicated feminist, yet right to have assumed that she wasn’t, is patently nonsense.

We’re no more likely to buy that than the cheap “I have the utmost respect for real, dedicated … ists, it’s quasi, whenever it suits the situation, etc, etc … ists that I have a problem with” line.

Would that constitute challenging the hegemony within the dominant (feminist website) paradigm? Or is it just proto-misogyny? Now that there are (apparently) such things as ‘quasi-feminists’, I’m so confused. If only there was some sort of sanctioned graffiti space to explain it all to me.

Hi all, it must be prettty obvious that none of you have actually been to a BnS before….. cos if you had you would know the nature of the event.
If you arent comfortable to step out of the box that conforms your narrow minds you wouldn’t know that the event is all about being able to laugh at yourself and let loose like you cant in the city with all the pretentious f#*>s that obviosly dont know how to enjoy themselves!!!
Yes the advert probably pushes the boundaries and I can see how it would offend some people but hey if you cant have a laugh at that and not take yourself so seriously then I feel sorry for you.
I’m looking forward to the BnS next weekend -being covered in food dye, rum and dust and cutting up in my ute and oh yes feel sorry for me cos I’m a redneck bogan who doesn’t know the finer things in life.

GET OVER YORSELVES and stop talking crap, oh yeah and your alll welcome to come along and see what its all bout because anyone is welcome and anything goes, although I know that wont be you style…..

Hi curious, just call me satay. I say nice young lady; she seemed nice until the people in the bookshop told her she’d have to spend at least ten bucks to get cash out, then things turned ugly and I decided it wasn’t the time to take photos. Have you seen any of those shirts around campus?

People who “arent comfortable to step out of the box that conforms (their) narrow minds” is an apt description of the sort of people who go to BnS’s. I’ve been to some.
The behaviour is always the same prescriptive routine you allude to. Men rolling around in the mud together. Latent homosexuality anyone ? Are gays welcome there ?
However it’s not a man thing, there are many women in attendance. All patiently smiling and awaiting the attentions of one these men, whose family owns several thousand acres of real estate, sent them to the finest schools in Perth, where they proudly emerged free from any of the ravages of the finer things in life.

I’m not sure which B&S’s you have been going to but i can’t say i have seen too many women waiting around for the affections of men at these events. Gone are the days where women wait for men like they are some trophy to be sought. The B&S is about getting together with your mates and having fun. I know i will not win a war of words here but i am comfortable in the tradition and would recommend any one keen for a different experience to check it out. One can not judge what they have not experienced.

You bumpkins are sending out mixed messages, Ezza. Is everyone welcome, or should we slaughter terrified women and children? The rurotards are no longer content to simply tell beige people to FOWF, and have apparently upped the ante to advocating mass murder.

“Three-metre high fence, anybody can jump. If someone jumps that fence, they are going to steal my car, they are going to attack my wife and they are going to race all the way straight to Perth to blend in with their kind,” one resident said.

They came from near and far,
to express a heartfelt opinion,
from the Shamrock,the Fitzgerald to the Avon Bridge,
yea even to the Commercial and the Northam,
they wrestled their demons
to inform the politicians
and then to have another beer.

You’re allowed to say fucktards without the use of #^*## Ezza. Someone else is feeling sorry for TWOP community? Sorry Ezza, your pity will be wasted. Narrow minds? The Worst of Perth??? The home of the Cuntkini? I think not. The minds here have the widest open spaces in town.

How can you say that someone is open minded when i can bet money that those who give a negative opinion on something they have never attended are the first to judge? Most people would do some pretty crazy shit to raise money for charity and having a good time making a fool of themselves is all the more reason to have a go. Get off your high horse stop wasting time,get out and do a hard days work for once in your life. everyone is intitled to an opinion but dont diss something just cause it’s not “YOUR THING”.

someone throw me a rope , I’ve gotten so far up myself i’m stuck…. no i’m not up myself ,i minimise my breathing to help oxygen thiefs such as yourself survive rolly . No-one is forced to attend and if you’ve given it a fair go then fair enough , you are part of the small minority that would have a valid opinion on the subject.Obviously I have offended a few but hey opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and to say that you have a life and then to sit by the computer waiting for a reply just proves one thing….. YOU DONT.I stumbled onto this site by chance and i thought i would put my 2 cents in but i wont be visiting this site again so i wish you all a good life and good health.seeya.

Another quick question since I’m back from the b’day party, and your’e possibly still on line.
Will the farmers be giving us city people back all the drought money we gave you?
After all there has been a lot of rain, and apparently a lot more to come.

r u trying to wind me up…..you cant even begin to understand the hardship that our farmers go through and how challenging the lifestyle is. Farming is one of the main industries that supports this country and we should be greatfull of the food that is on our tables.
Havent you seen the suicide rates in young farmers over the years as the times have been getting increasingly difficult, they need all the support they can get! Also we are still by no means in the clear for rainfall which is still lower than average for the yearly rate, you know the total sprinkler ban is saying something.

Next time I wouldn’t bother donating in the first place if you are gonna want your money back- kinds defeats the purpose dont you think?

We were taught in Shackleton primary school, what to say if any slick city bong salesmen blew into town.
Good rain doesn’t mean god crops, it means low prices.
Low rain doesn’t mean high prices, it means poor crops.
Superphosphate subsidy is not a subsidy it’s food in city gobs.
&cetera

Well actually Snuff I wasn’t asking you for a comment on my alleged excuse, lame or otherwise.
It is my understanding that there is only one moderator on this site. If I wish to keep digging and attracting further comments then that is my decision.
This time my comment was directed towards a particular individual and that person didn’t feel the need to reply so I don’t see why you would need to carry the baton.

Besides, as a contributor to this site it is a minor responsibility to keep the discussion open and the numbers appear to be ticking along well for a such a crap cartoon.

if only it had remained good humoured. However you will note the recent proliferation of less than good humoured comments. I am too long in the tooth to play the baiting game and so choose to disengage once the nasty pasties come out to play.

The caption is about as violence-condoning as “I could murder a hamburger right now” or “knock the top off a few beers” or “I’d hit it” or “wanna get hammered tonight?” or “demolishing a bottle of Beam”.

I am a member of a BnS commitee and I tell ya I ain’t from no bloody yuppy ag school … I know the hardships of life and I live the darn things every bloody day … So ya can stick ya comments about us all being ag college yuppies up ya rear ends …

Also ya comment about the drought money, yes ok some people that didn’t need it took it … but i challenge you all to come and live a full year in the country on a large property with no feed for your stock, very limited water supply and a family relationship that is failing due to finances … You work out just how much water a crop needs to thrive or a cow can drink in a day and then times that by the amount planted, and the 365 days in a year … Yeah wake up and smell the roses people, it takes alot of water to raise just one cow … So you turn that into 25, 000 cows and there is fucking more than you can imagine … So watch ya bloody traps …

Also feel free to dig at me cause I am happy to represent the rural and agricultural aspect of Australia and I will fight for the little people … Alone we are a weak force, but together we are united …

At least country people know how to live life, enjoy the moment and have time for our families … Not rush to work every morning, come home late, force the kids into day care, and only go on expensive holidays to place where you will only spend all day on the phone or internet …

I’ve lived the country life. Born in the wheatbelt and I can say that country people are generally idiots who like whingeing more than every other activity. And correction, it takes 3 million litres of water to make one litre of bull semen. And I speak from bitter experience.

Got some great mates who are hayseeds, a number of them Muresk graduates. I can’t believe some of the anti farmer “whinging lying bastards, the lot of them” comments they come up with. So much so, I thought they were taking the piss.

Is the OBH still a country pub? Always liked the crowd there, plus I went to a boarding school. Been surrounded by hayseeds all my life.

My only complaint is that too many of them [not all] go out of their way to tell me how the “city sucks”. Even as adults… I’ll get bailed up at a party by some drunk cockey telling me how much he hates living here.

a) Well fuck off back home then.
b) Issues? Feeling a bit inadequate, eh?

How is that “country people know how to love life, and enjoy the moment, and have time for our families”, while simultaneously moaning about how hard ‘life on the land’ is, and how family relationships are failing?

Buddy, beef is on the way out, buy yourself some lambs, plant some fuckin trees and stop your whining.

I’d say life on the land is a bittersweet existence. You work hard at a demanding job but you also get to experience the beauty of the land, the true feeling of a close knit community and i think best of all… you develop some very strong mates through the most trying of times. I love the lifestyle and wouldn’t want to live any other life, even if it does mean hearing some rather offensive comments on this forum.

I think some of you should be very ashamed of your ignorance and name calling.

I may be a metrocentric twat (TM), but I’ve known a few rubes in my time (among other things, I lived in Manning, which is a little slice of the wheatbelt right here in Perth). I assume by ‘close knit community’ you mean ‘bunch of small-minded gossips whose second-favourite pastime is discussing their neighbour’s private business’.

I agree Shazza… those are all things that can be found anywhere in Australia. We are very lucky in that respect.

I also believe that this “complaining” that many of the respondents on this forum seem to attribute solely to country folk is also present in the city.

What i find amusing here is most of the posts in this forum appear to be having a massive whinge/ complain about country folk. Double standards much? I know you’ll never admit it but hey…. you know it’s true! =)

A little more compassion and understanding is needed on this issue in my opinion.

as for ‘ I fought the Chong, and the Chong won’, I would like to point out that I won: me, me ME!

driven from tWAToday, sacked by Merry’s, and any hope of a career in politics or on the bench torpedoed.

as DFOC so eloquently put it: ‘crushed her like a bug.’

I did notice that she was on that list lame of the Top Ten A-listers in The West on the weekend, but if you read the article it was actually the PR list of self publicists who could be relied on to show up for anything.

I grew up in the country and can confirm B & S balls are indeed for redneck retards. And have only become more rednecky and retarded as the years have gone by. They used to be just about the rooting… Dash for cash, wet t-shirts & burnouts for charity? What’s next? Wife swapping for world peace? Bash a gay: help stop global warming?

Look I am not here to cause arguements, I am here to represent the other side of the fence …

You can call me what you like, I DO NOT CARE …

I am not here to whinge at all so each to their own if you think I am … I am merely here to present an even case and allow both sides of the story to be told …

Also shazza your absolutely right, the beef industry is dying, but unless people like me fight to keep it alive then where is the beef that you eat every night going to come from … If the beef industry in Australia dies, then up go the meat prices … Like come on use your common sense a little please …

I understand that alot of you hate being complained to about the city, but ever think it is because you call us bumpkins, and losers, and all the other shit kicker names you have been slinging … You dish it out but when you recieve it back you can’t take it … I do agree though that SOME and NOT ALL country folk do get on the case of city people a little too much …

I am currently in the throws of organising a few groups and a BnS to try and over come that barrier …

NOT ALL COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE THE SAME SO STOP BEING SO STEREOTYPICAL AND JUDGEMENTAL !!!

OutbackJazzie, It’s great to hear someone in support of what i feel is a great tradition. I too feel the opinions in the forum are very one sided and stereotypical but i think what we have to understand is … these comments come from people who don’t want to understand what we have to say. They are interested in their own view points and sadly, no good and constructive comments will come out of this.

Long live the B&S tradition i say! If i am to be classed as a redneck (which i can assure you is so far from the truth) then so be it. I will wear what ever badge people wish to give me but the reality is, we wont meet them, they don’t matter… they are just talk.

If people have genuine interest of questions we welcome them but i’d just ignore the name calling… it is their weakness… not yours.

OutbackJazzie, I appreciate your attempt to be a voice of reason. Yet your claim I eat beef every night is misguided. For environmental reasons I rarely eat beef. I choose lamb, chicken and fish.

Part of the problem for farmers is their insistence on continuing outdated, unsustainable, and environmentally degrading agricultural practices. Yet continually bleating (pun intended again) about how hard it is on the land, and how city people should fund their fuck ups, whilst simultaneously going on about what a bunch of wankers city dwellers are.

Then on top of that we city slickers have to be subjected to the type of poster that started all this.

I can understand your view here … However us country people just try to get help from the city people not for our own fuck ups, but for the GOVERNMENTS … Don’t blame us for what they are ruining … We just do what we know, and be as good at it as we can …

We get up every day and do our job the best we can … Same as what you do …

Yes some people do whinge about how hard it is on the land but NOT ALL country people do … Again you are being very stereotypical …

Paracleet thankyou for bringing up this major issue … A website I am joined to called Country BnS are strongly fighting this … The biggest problem is that too many people have the wrong idea of what a BnS is really about due to bad media coverage … It isn’t about the rooting and all that stuff that it is shown to be about …

It’s pretty amusing how wrong people’s perceptions of a B&S are. My favorite is by far the apparent root fest that we all partake in hahahaha. Damn rednecks all out there skrewing each other in the bush! hahahaha

Some of my most memorable times have been at balls i have attended (no sexual puns intended :P ) and i am not nor ever would be ashamed to admit it!

I believe the topic at issue was the flier and elements of inappropriateness. I think because other people have commented on the B&S and on country people in general… that we have gone very much off topic.

Ok I understand you view here … But answer me this … Why isn’t a BnS the way to go? … I can tell you I would rather my kids go to a BnS, where there are police that monitor the entire event, no drugs, security to help prevent fights, ID checking to ensure no under-age people, and an overall safe environment compared to some wild party of some kid they barely know where they can drink underage and access drugs …

I am just asking for the reason why a BnS isn’t the way to go? … What is wrong with two single over 18yr old people enjoying each others company? … Are you not judging what single people do in their private lives here?

I appreciate that you like the poster … But we are not in reference to the poster … The question was in regards to your last post ‘Earnestly telling us it’s not just about the rooting is not the way to go.’ in reference to BnS balls … So please answer my question of why a BnS is not the way to go?

You’ve misunderstood again. I think I can safely say we here at TWOP are firmly (pun intended) pro-rooting. Most of us are also pro-drugs and pro-alcohol.

I do love the way you paint a picture, though. ‘When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, sometimes they will get in the back of a ute while their mates clap and cheer, or have a knee-trembler against the barn’. Poetry.

OMG I love the way you so wrongly misinterprut what was said … A BnS is nothing like that … Yes ok there are the odd group of fuckwits that ruin it for the rest of us by giving that image, but I assure you that is certainly not what a BnS is like … This is the issue we are currently trying to resolve … Also no children are allowed at BnS’s so children are not subjected to this at all, same as they are not subjected to parents that have affairs, sex parties or even enjoy the odd threesome.

LOL yes but those of us that live out here rarely watch TV anyway … We are all newpaper readers … Sit down over lunch and read the newspaper before getting back out to work … But each to their own there … Some people like a life with TV others prefer a life with the great outdoors … That is not something to judge people on at all …

LOL bag the lifestyle all you want … But please explain how you can make judgement on something you so dearly know absolutely nothing about … It just doesnt make sense … Also just because we are from the country doesn’t mean we are ill educated … I could go into a whole spiel of country vs city but that is not why I am here … I am here to represent the other side … Nice of you to show you are defensive against a well proven point though.

I remember eating in an Australian Outback Steak House in London (not out of choice) and watching a delivery man carrying cartons of beef into the kitchen clearly marked ‘Produce of Argentina.’ (in Spanish)

<<<<< Points to the IN LONDON bit of this comment … That's the british mate … We are a fair bit different in our geographical location so care to come back here and join us in the Land down under … We are talking about AUSTRALIA not ENGLAND!

So it continues with the shit digging … This time directed at the entire Australian nation … Stating that no Aussie knows how to grill or cut meat … Well now we are getting somewhere … Can I take a guess that your possibly not from Australian origins?

LOL mate we only wish they played that at BnS’s … We are getting complained to because they aren’t playing enough Country music … So unless your putting up some hip hop style music you have sadly missed the mark.

I had hoped you were continuing to post as you were coming to the realisation that most of us on Worst of Perth are a bunch of smart arse types who love nothing more than a good laugh. Often at the expense of each other, and also at those who take what we say a little too seriously.

We probably don’t misunderstand as much as you think, it just seems you might be missing the tongue in cheek humour.

ummm… I believe quite a number of the posts above insinuated that anyone who lives or likes the country lifestyle, chooses to part-take in BnS’s etc etc……. is redneck, bogan, idiot….. I’m surprised that the bloodthirsty and cruelty of rodeos hasn’t been raised in the conversation yet

Insinuated yes, called directly no. None of the country dwellers have been called anything worse than the city dwellers. Wev’e been called narrow minded, ignorant blah bah blah. Os should that be baa baa baa.

I paticularly love how the discussion went from sexist and degrading and what-not about women to completely bagging out the farmers who slog their guts out producing for the country just so the deadshits that rule the produce market can import from overseas coz it ends up cheaper.

As Jazzie said, don’t blame the farmers for the fuckwits who are our government that make some seriously stupid decisions daily. – i.e. water restrictions, hey we got 5 days of rain and increased the water catchments a bit, so lets cut the restrictions, water like hell and then we’ll restrict you all over again coz the dams are back down to 5% again.

And whats with knocking the country lifestyle and the choice of going to a BnS over a night club or a rave?

Yeah, I’m country/redneck/idiot – take your pick or make up your own – but for fucks sake, grow the hell up and get on with your lives… ITS JUST A FRIGGING POSTER!!!!

Anyone read about that poor tourist bastard wot got murdered by the Khmer Rogue in the late 1970s? He said Muresk was a terrorist training camp.

I went to the Quairading B+S many years ago and I thought it was great. But I thought many things were great back then. If only the today me could meet the many years ago me…

Three lasting memories:

1. Chrissie Amphlet [Divinyls] was just awesome live. Not my favourite band by a long shot but boy, that bird had something. “Work the crowd” was an understatement.
2. Girls pissing everywhere. The filthy harlots couldn’t wait in a queue for 2 hours to piss in a portaloo?
3. Beer jugs flying. Full beer jugs. If you took a photo towards the end of the night I reckon there would be a minimum of three gigantic plumes of beer and/or jugs flying in the background. It was truly something to behold. The waste must have been staggering.

Sawn-off 2 litre milk cartons to be precise. So ya weren’t exactly worried about being BRAINED the whole time!

And ya gave up being worried about being beer soaked at around 9pm.

Some girls [I’m guessing city girls] wore expensive dresses, and they were magnets for 5 dickheads to each unload a full jug on their heads. Some of them were bawling their eyes out and – all jokes aside just for a change – I felt really sorry for them.

Yep but with the new laws that have been set in place by the GOVERNMENT all this sort of thing is dying out fast … I can tell you know that Inseminators had some struggles to get this BnS to stay going this year … I think you all need to just get the bee out of your bonnet … We host BnS’s to support our local communities … At least we do what we can to help the economy … Out here we just do what we can to help each other get by … Alot of the communities with BnS’s didn’t take the drought money as they were well enough supported …

God next you will be whinging about the bush fire and flood victims for the hand-outs that the government gave them … Or maybe you will start on the Aboriginal folk for something.

and may I be the first to whinge about the bush fire victims – at least the people who live in the bush who refuse to burn off their leaf litter, cut adequate fire breaks, or wear shoes in establishments that serve food.

And before you cry foul, I do have some knowledge about Bushfires as my Brother In Law is responsible for the entire Southwest region of the state and is currently drafting legislation as recommended by the Victorian Royal Commission and is even babysitting Rob Johnson about what to say in Parliament.

Those know nothing city slickers and their spoilsport governments probably just don’t realise that “smash a bunny” is slang out here for “unload a full jug on the heads of city girls in expensive dresses”. The best part is when they bawl their eyes out. Hilarious !

Yea we really want to get rid of the cattle from Australia … Clap clap people your fucking your economy right up the ass ain’t you … I will remember this day when you are all sitting there in a few years bitching that produce is so high etc.

I was in a cranky mood too after a bad night, but this thread has put a smile on my face. I hope it’s done the same for you. While you are here, for an even bigger laugh check out the shirts for sale in the right hand column if you scroll back up towards the top. I reckon some of you country boys would enjoy them.

yeah, definately made me crack a smile, I know for a fact that a lot of the blokes i know would definately wear them (FYI, Jazzie & I are both girls) :-) however, you also would be suprised at the fun that can be had at a BnS – yeah there’s the ute revving, beer-swilling, country music (and a fairly large amount of pop, rock etc) rough housing.

A lot of my city mates look @ the photos when my mates & I come back from the BnS’s and go you lot musta had an absolute ball!!! It is great fun and, not everyone’s scene – you couldn’t pay me to go to a rave or a night club, yet the people that go to them enjoy it.

Everyone’s tastes & choices are different.. If they weren’t the world would be so bloody boring (and this place wouldn’t exist)

Just a suggestion for all those bitching and complaining… If you dont like it then fair enough, but for a hell of a lot of people a B&S is a bloody good time. Its not all about rooting a random bloke and forgetting it the next morning.

So if you havent been to one then you probably dont have the right to comment.

shazza, snuff and the lazy aussie…. thanks for re-assuring all of us that you can be labelled “WORST OF PERTH”…. every day i hear people whinging about BnS balls…. have you even been to one?and do you know how much money is raised that goes towards charities, such as what the inseminators do? one day when your admitted to hospital for cancer and r lucky enough to recieve the cure, just think how the cancer council got some of its fundraising, and where some of it came from!

thanks for all the stereotypic views and proving you’ve got nothing better to do with your lives than argue and be politically correct…. what is this world coming to? unfortunately, we are leading to survival of the dumbest who are scared of working out of a 2x2metre office and getting dirty and not having fun!

You’re most welcome, PEH. In answer to your questions, yes, and yes. As someone who works in a small farming community, you have my condolences on the office thing. You are however right about one thing, surprisingly. I am scared of not having fun.

You don’t have to be a strapper to know about getting up at 5am and shovelling shit. You just have to be a mother.

Back to the original point, I still don’t like the ugly offensive poster, just like I don’t like the ads for the bikie night club. Might be a great night out just like a b&s but I’m allowed to not like the poster.

frank- unfortunately the farmers unwillingly have to provide food to such fukwits like you…. the people who result in the dumbing of our nation…. and do you realise how much of the economy agriculture composes of? i dont think you would be around without farmers!

shazza, my motives of mentioning of ‘getting dirty’ and politically correct werent neccessarily aimed to you, but the wider community who have posted shit about how wrong the poster is…. after all it is known as the “INSEMINATORS BALL”.unfortunately peoples own opinions have been locked up in this crazy rant and untrue stereotypes of people who live in the country have occured. i personally know the lady who drew the picture and you couldnt have found a nicer lady out there.
and shazza, how is being a strapper anything related to agriculture? the only thing we both got in common is selling meat to butchers, or horses to the knackery in your case! and obviously you have done a lil too much snorting and need something better do in your life than sit on a computer all day posting crazy replies!

Umm, my family ARE involved in viticultre and work from dawn till dusk even at the age of 83, have NO holidays whatsoever and you have the HIDE to call me a fuckwit. Oh and they even did that in Italy before migrating here as well.

how is fundraising for charities a joke the lazy aussie? you just prove my theory of a dumbing nation with lazy people recieving benefits from centrelink! HEY FRANKIE, THIS IS WHERE ALL YOUR TAX IS GOING!!!!!!

and frankie mate, seems like u can give it but cant take it mate!! keep off ya cheap wine…. it makes you violent!
&
just because your parents worked for a living doesnt mean you can stake any claim on being related to the country!

and for all this italian shit, we live in australia, land of freedom, and if ya dnt agree with the pic just shut the fuck up and put up with it! so sad when people like you (the lazy australian & frank) whinge and cant accept other peoples opinions on a fairly biased website!

im off now and not coming back, so the lazy boy, get off centrelink and find a real job! and frank go back to being the gay guy in the train back in europe! HAVE A GREAT ONE!

FYI information bento, yes the agriculture sector recieves the majority of funds, but unfortunately farmers dont recieve much of it as it is used for research by governemental research departments such as the ag department and CSIRO …. so that ill-informed cunts like you can still eat!

if you cut off the food to us, we’ll cut off the electricity to you. And the TV and the newspapers and the subsidies and the tax breaks. We’ll stop forcing teachers, doctors and coppers to spend two years of their lives in the bush looking after you.

What a stereotypical load of crap! its a poster for a fun & feral night, an event that raises money for charities and yes in the end it is a huge big party where randoms end up getting it on!!!

Event organisers provide condoms and alcohol – what do you expect? If a woman attends this event chances are she knows whats going on, there will be a bunch of randy men and a bunch of randy women, choices are the individuals, there is a strong security & police pressence so I doubt that anyone is treated in a manner they wish not to be treated.

You cant judge a book by its cover is the age old saying so why judge this event by its poster? advertising relies on creating a stir, taking things to the very edge, you are all dicsussing this and as a result all know about the event…

Do you guys actually attend BNS balls?
I do, and I am not the stereotype you seem to believe befits the bns attender…
I study Business at uni, I work for an accounting firm, I own an investment property and am paying off my own home – a small farm (argh shoot me Im a hillbilly!!!), I paint my nails, I wash & brush my hair & teeth (which i must say are my own), I wear heels and thongs and boots (obviously not at the same time) and jeans and skirts I do not wear checked shirts or own a gun or vote labor, I listen to country mucis but am looking forward to rocking it up at a Little Birdy concert – what is my scene??? (to rob a great Aussie band of their song). label me and put me where i belong…

To say that BNS goers are moleskin wearing ag students living off a trust fund is incorrect and a blatant mis-representation! how many people actually fit that mould?

I suggest you go to a ball and see the fun & feralness that goes on, see the country & city and the in-between crowds mix in together and enjoy themselves, see the benefits of the increased visitors to small towns, the local pub the friday night before, the pie shop the fuel stop and then the charities that receive the donations – they all benefit, whats the problem?? Sure some troubles errupt but great friendships are often made at these events.

Ive been to balls all over Australia, they represent a fun and wild behaviour which for many (myself included) it provides an opportunity to relax, and let loose without a care in the world or a worry about how people are looking at you and or thinking about you.

Why not accept that and applaud someone having the balls to show a bit of artisitic flair and maybe going too far or showing things how they are… The poster doesnt represent a human yes sexes are resembled but it is in jest.

I must say what has been said in this thread can not be taken lightly and laughed at … You have directly attacked the country people, so being a COUNTRY PERSON … You have therefore in a sense directly attacked me … Also I find a few of the shirts you mentioned rather offensive and would not buy such an item … Something like ‘Sorry about your face’ or ‘My anger management class pisses me off’ or ‘I need a little head’ with the picture of a person with a little body and big head … That is humour …

I was just here to present the country side of things, and I believe I have done that so I feel no need to continue my presence here … So goodbye to you rude city lot … And any of you country lot looking to keep contact you can find me on countrybns.com under the same user name, or contact me via the e-mail address listed further up :)

Bet these posters think Macca is High Art as well – I’ve got a sister living in Bunbury and on my vists there was amazed at the “quality of local TV – you’d get ads for superphosphate in Merridin, mixed with ads for a Cafe in Broome.

And Country Radio, it’s all networked from a major regional centre with “local” breakfast, and automation at night – just like certain FM stations here in Perth, yet a lot worse.

I agree PL, amusingly the first thing that I thought when I logged was…. 349 comments, What the hell has Shazza done!

Good to see so many new people feel the need to voice an opinion, thank God Rolly isn’t here.
I am not sure about the hard working country folk image, there seems to be quite a lot of them doing nothing except muck around on the computer all day.
I suppose you could strap a laptop around your neck whilst feeding the chooks or sinking your arm into a cows arse but I don’t think it would be practical.

um shazza i mean no disrespect im sure u have such a logical reason for bagging out half the “true” Australian population who do enjoy a good time as it happens at a bns.

But however your point of view does not need to be publicised so arrogantly and i am completely disgusted at the lack of respect you have for other people.

u say u feel the same way about country ppl as u feel about god, doesnt this mean that u discriminate and disrespect god as well other ppls values and actions. u have no right and i suggest in the future u stay in ure prissy little world and well stay in ours u dnt see us bagging out any of ure fuked up posters and boring tedious evenhts do u? so back the fuck off.

And as comments are about to touch 500, only the metrocentrics are left to savour the victory and strip the corpses. The slaughter of country commenters reminded me of Zulu with Michael Caine. Front rank fire… Middle rank fire…

What the Hell?!!! This is getting blown way out of proportion! Look it’s a play on words that’s not meant to be taken seriously (Her eyes glowed as I shot my load) It’s a tradition.
And besides I’m 19 years old! I don’t worry about that kind of political correctness shit. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter. And I have more important things to worry about like how I’m going to get enough money to continue my studies, how I can help keep our University from shutting down and how my Dad’s going to get through his cancer.
And yeah violence against women is OK…yeah that’s what I was thinking as I was drawing that picture because I love being beaten…Idiot. As if geez!

Neither does anyone on the blog take it seriously. B&S commenters have misunderstood the nature of the post and the blog. No-one cares if it’s sexist or not. No-one cares if B&S balls are good or bad. No-one cares if the money went to a good charity or was wasted. And can I say again. I like the poster.

Revenge? This has been the greatest thread ever. We should be thanking these hayseeds for making such superb sport. I certainly got fuck all done today, skink would appear to be the same, and I suspect shazza’s kids spent the day in the cupboard under the stairs.

I went to some BnS events many years ago, and saw some things I wish I could unsee. Four blokes mooned me and later had the temerity to question MY sexuality.

I think it’s a great idea that these community-based events are held in all these far-flung places, so that the locals can have whatever fun they like. As far away from us as possible. It’s kind of a shame they’ve started regulating the whole thing so much; the firearms ban is particularly hard to understand.

We urban dwellers should not begrudge the odd act of charity for our country cousins, deluded as they are into believing that they provide the food we eat. (How many sashimi farmers have we in WA? How many growers of macchiato-grade coffee beans?) We should support them.

We city-folk should even pay a BnS levy on our income tax, to keep a proud Aussie tradition rolling along. There should have been a BnS element to Rudd’s economic stimulus package. State of the Art BnSing facilities could have been built in shit hole towns all over Australia.

Because we city people need the country. We do. To remind us why it’s OK to be living in Perth.

And we need to look after country people. We need to help them become more contented with their country lives. It might stop them coming to a brasserie near you.

Woo hoo you get to call us bns goers dumb, at least ya cant call us spineless, we saw a thread knocking our beloved event & stepped up to ‘fight’ for it or to try & give you guys a different perspective of it.

I havent been highly sanctimonious or degarding in my comments as you ‘holier than thou’ have been, if you believe attacking people & belittling them & degrading them is ‘sport’ im genuinley concerned for the rep you are giving city dwellers..

I think at the end of the day be you from the city, country or wherever the fuck you are we are AUSTRALIANS and we need to unite not segregate stop the us & them ideals.

It was a perfect summary of the state of Western Australian agricunture. If only the best comments could be collated into some sort of pamphlet that could be handed out at polling booths to anyone who thinks the National Party is a good idea.

good to see some fresh posters on the site, and even better that they are angry. This site needs as much random capitalisation as it can get.

You know it’s going well when Frank threatens to get medieval.

my personal favourite was that guy that couldn’t spell ‘fukwit’. What a fukwit.

Well as an attempt to break down the cruel stereotypes that country folk are touchingly naive bumpkins and city dwellers are smartarse wankers, I declare it a magnificent success! My scrolling finger is sore.

Surely that stereotype has been solidly reinforced now, TLA? Our new country correspondents naively and touchingly stood staunchly together to defend their way of life against floods of smartarsed invective and parching wit from we wankers. Fences mended.

I did like the fact that city wankers stopped abusing each other’s feminist credentials and lack of senses of humour and were back to top form smartarsery against the real enemy. The Countryside. Skink’s retort of “Fray Bentos” to a jibe about where we’d get our beef from, and Bento’s definition of a balcony had me laughing until well after midnight.

David Scott, a former roadie with West Australian rock band Bakery, thumbed his nose at his captors, naming members of the band entourage, such as manager John Hopkins, as a CIA agent and saying he was recruited into the CIA by a “Mr Magoo”.

They also tell a tale of bravery and creativity under the gravest pressure, with Scott spinning a yarn of how Muresk College in Western Australia was a CIA training farm that churned out “active probationary CIA agents”.http://khmernz.blogspot.com/2009_08_15_archive.html

This was in The Weekend Australian a few weeks ago. Be buggered if I can find it on the web.

Na I get it – I do, I accept that I personally also love a shit slinging match. I just dont agree with the mass lot of stereotypes that were voiced by people who seem to be scared of anyone who is different and feel they need to resort to belittling them to remain ‘holier than thou’ or to make people bite & react in a manner to give them shits & giggles. what do you derive from making people get defensive of their way of life?

I think that sorta ‘sport’ is in no way innocent fun & all in jest, for that opinion to be voiced there must be that underlying thought that you are the best & anyone who differs is inferior.

Im all for a healthy bit of ‘sport’ just make sure you actually are fit to ‘judge’ before you spew forth a whole lotta judgemental crap..

What do we derive from making people defensive of their way of life? Well, some of us derive cold hard cash, for a start.

At least three professional stand up comedians regularly post here, as well as cartoonists and animators and other people about whose work I have not a clue, but they’re mostly pretty fucking funny anyway. Maybe not as funny, to you, as a T-shirt with “Keep your tits off my eyes” on it, but they write the kind of thing I like to read. TLA may argue my definition is too narrow, but this is a comedy site, for fuck’s sake.

Very often we make our humour at the expense of others and very occasionally the targets of our attempted wit take offence. Sorry, we do not apologise!

almost every country commenter has accused us city slickers of unfair stereotyping. Yet that’s the humour of it. Stereotypes are funny (and almost always have an element of truth). Exploiting stereotypes for humorous effect is what many of the commenters on this site do. Not just to ‘others’, but also to each other. It is a satirical site that celebrates the best worsts of human behaviour and endeavour.

Many of your friends/countrymen and women who came to defend their B&S escapades have missed this point entirely, and have also made some sweeping generalisations about city people such as, all being office workers, narrowminded, ignorant, knowing nothing about farming or having a good time etc etc.

The difference is, while we were all laughing at the country commenters insults, you guys were taking it to heart.

and u uppity ones miss the point of the poster – its for fun an event that is FUN, much like you profess this site is all about, yet the bns doesnt discriminate against ‘outsiders’ and welcomes differences…

almost every country commenter has accused us city slickers of unfair stereotyping. Yet that’s the humour of it. Stereotypes are funny.

That’s why I yell out TERRORIST! from my car whenever I drive past a Sikh.

Coz not only is it a stereotype of all Muslims being terrorists, but it’s a stereotype of rednecks not knowing the difference between Muslims and Sikhs. And then the stupid Sikhs get their panties in a bunch coz I called them TERRORISTS and they stereotype all Perth people as rednecks… when the joke is actually on them and it’s actually quite high-brow humour on my part.

what is funny is when people write to complain that country people are stereotyped as being ill-educated, retarded and belligerent, and do it in such an illiterate, incoherent, blinkered and bigoted manner as to reinforce the stereotype.

Although he hates outsiders, Farmer Palmer once turned his farm into a guest house. The first couple to stay there fled in terror when his son Jethro pounded on their door all night, demanding to see the female guest’s “dugs” (breasts) and in the morning they witness Farmer Palmer making bacon for breakfast by slicing up a squealing piglet alive.

Geez I’m glad I haven’t had abdominal cramps or liver stones today – I’ve had enough trouble trying not to laugh out loud in my all-too-quiet office. Almost a reason in itself to get the internet at home…

Farming is hard work, no doubt about it. I played FarmVille on Facebook relentlessly to find out. I collected eggs from chickens, milk from cows, picked fruit on several kinds of trees, planted and harvested pumpkins, wheat, soybeans and rice. I earned nearly enough points to buy a tractor. I hardly had any time to rest in the hammock Mrs BT sent me from her own farm, never mind get to level 33 where I’m sure the big reward is a ute and a ticket to the BnS ball. Farmin sure is hard work. All that pointing and clicking, I think I’ve got a repetitive strain injury.

BT – whilst your research is clearly beyond question, Farmville people don’t have the monopoly on hard work.

I played SimCity on the Wii last night, and that was no picnic either. I built roads, coal-fired power stations, low-, medium- and high density residential areas, shops and schools. I managed rampant crime, and even put out a fire. I didn’t get to the final level either, where I’m sure I would be rewarded with a big pile of cocaine and a tinned pie.

Well I played Second Life, in which I got to design my own clothes. I then walked around aimlessly, before stumbling upon a strip club, but, since I’m not a paying member, I couldn’t get a lap dance, so I wandered around aimlessly, getting my leg caught in random pieces of architecture, which forced my character to have an epileptic fit until I shut the game off.

I think what pisses most of us city folk off, and what the country folk here have repeatedly demonstrated, is the sense of entitlement they have.

At the end of last year I closed my small business like hundreds of others did. I’m sure everyone here has known someone that has had to do the same during this downturn or any previous.

Did I bitch and moan constantly and expect the government and everyone else to foot the bill for my efforts when there was no longer any point in doing so? Nope.

I moved on to more profitable work and finished my degree instead. Some of these country people need to learn to do the same.

Farmers want to be involved in a business and for some reason they think they have an entitlement that allows them to be treated as if they weren’t one. But their business is no more important than hundreds of others that have closed over time. And no more important than the businesses are to other owners and other employees.

If it’s unsustainable, move on. It’s not your fault, don’t take it personally, it’s just too bad. Shit happens. It’s probably this inability to do so which leads to such high suicide rates. “Our crops aren’t growing… oh noes those city folks must hate me.”

But if you’re worried about a lack of water, there’s one way to get a stream to flow.

Remember, it’s up the creek bed, not across it. Cheer up emo kids.

This thread is almost enough to make me turn to listening to Ten Speed Racer. Almost…

Not that I want to take the side of the ruraltards but I don’t think it’s fair to ask for your taxes back from them when the rain comes. I sure as hell don’t want to pay my Austudy back (the HECS is bad enough!).

KTAFB I know you didn’t ask for that, but someone half a mile above this post did and I can’t be bothered looking for it.

Remember how the ATO recently ROGERED a whole heap of people with their retrospective “tree plantations tax write off” ruling, despite previous tax rulings to the contrary? To quote Amanda Vanstone: “HECS is only fair coz you get a higher income”.

… what?! “Fair” in retrospect to 40 somethings who are still alive and who enjoyed free university edumucation and who ALSO got a higher income??? Look over there! [screams like Homer Simpson] Runs away.

Having a child is like chosing an occupation – it is personal choice. unless its not a choice and its an ‘oops im knocked up’ i didnt know about contraception…

People who expect the Government to hand out taxpayer funds so they can have their child – public hospital, stay home with child – baby bonus & parenting payments (FTA & B), educate their child – childcare (rebates) public education & most other education facilities receive govt. funding. They are no different to ‘farmers’ choosing to live on the land and ‘expecting’ assistance from the government in hard times??

Having said that re the farmers, I am in agreeance with KTFAB in saying that a whole lotta agricultural practice is unsustainable – so why keep flogging a dead horse? is it cos the government finds it easier to throw money into what is often (or certainly will end up a black hole) than to remedy the situation? Age pension & unemployment benefits are a mega drain on our country – why keep them? why allow bludgers & parents the ‘choice’ to be provided for when you want to take that choice away from hard working farmers who do actually contribute to the economy?

Why is there so many sets opf standards – if you are prepared to point the finger, be prepared for it to be pointed back at you.

how about this for an idea? Anyone who chooses to live outside urban areas (boundary yet to be defined) has responsibility for looking after their children, their elderly, their sick, unemployed etc. And those who live in cities and surrounds look after theirs?

Country folk can fund their own hospitals, schools, policing, emergency funds, agricultural subsidies, environmental prtotection and restoration etc. And we will fund ours?

David, yeah can possibly see myself returning!
Im a fan of a good fight & incidentally Perth (the two seem to combine so fittingly). Am just now seeing Perth’s ‘worst’ side… its dark & disturbing, unlike the seedy backpackers ive stayed at whilst there…

Shazza – kill the US v THEM mentality (Im sooo not a Hanson supporter but it is essentially 1 nation is it not??) thats what my argument is, I struggle with the notion that we should segregate and discriminate because it differs from us, the belief that ‘our way of life is superior to their way of life so they must be wrong’ highlights a lack of understanding or willingness to understand that which is different, possibly through fear that you may end up liking the different more than the known…

And again incase I sound like a BnS die hard/tree hugging hippy shit (thanx south park…) Free love, you go to a nighgtclub lookin for a good time you go to a bns looking for a good time accept it!

Australia is made up of some pretty peculiar aspects, accept the bogan within, wear ur flannos & dunlops loud & proud (stereotypes oops i did it too! haha)
